After months of waiting and three beta tests, Monster Hunter World finally drops this Friday.

When the game launches it’ll be accompanied by a day one patch which not only fixes bugs, but also adds a laundry list of features to the game.

Detailed by Capcom on their Japanese website with translations tweeted by head of the Monster Hunter Wikia, Kogath, the patch will unlock the game’s multiplayer servers, the ability to claim content via the Housekeeper in your room, add regionalised text languages and a gallery for rewatching cutscenes, as well as placing Poogie - a pet pig who’s one of the Monster Hunter series' mascots - in Astera.

The #MHWorld "Day 1" version 1.01 patch will be 815MB and release on January 26th. It will open up the multiplayer servers, add a Gallery to rewatch previously seen cutscenes, and add Poogie to Astera! (Part 1) pic.twitter.com/oOCz45zF4Q
